CRAZY CRAZES

An interview with Miley Jones, an expert on the history of crazes.

HOW DO CRAZES START?

Well, crazes generally start in the playground when we're young. We see someone doing something fun and obviously we want to join them.

WHAT WAS THE STRANGEST CRAZE?

Pole-sitting, probably. In 1924, Alvin Kelly sat on a pole for thirteen hours. Amazingly, it became popular, and people used to watch the best pole-sitters. The record was twenty-one days.

HOW DO CURRENT CRAZES DIFFER FROM PAST CRAZES?

Things like toys and card-collecting used to be popular. Now crazes often start online, when people see and copy funny ideas for photos or videos on social media.

IS THAT HOW CRAZES BECOME SO POPULAR QUICKLY?

Absolutely! Things can quickly become a craze. Before, people didn't use to have smartphones, but now we can post online games scores or photos immediately.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE CRAZE?

Pet rocks. In the 1970s, Gary Dahl started selling a pet rock in a special box with instructions.

DID PEOPLE REALLY USE TO BUY PET ROCKS?

Yes, they did. Apparently, he sold millions of them. No one really knows what the next craze will be.

In my opinion, the crazes mentioned in the interview are quite interesting. Pole-sitting seems to be the strangest craze as it involves sitting on a pole for an extended period, which may seem unusual to many people. Pet rocks, on the other hand, appear to be the silliest craze because it involves keeping rocks as pets, which might be seen as odd or unnecessary.

As for the most fun craze, it's subjective and can vary from person to person. Some may find the current online crazes, where people share funny ideas for photos or videos on social media, to be the most enjoyable. Others might prefer the traditional crazes like toys and card-collecting that were popular in the past.

To determine the silliest, strangest, and most fun craze among the group, we can take a vote and see which one receives the most support.

The crazes in the interview bring joy to people and help them connect with like-minded friends. On the other hand, it can cause negative consequences, such as wasting time and affecting health by pole-sitting or spending too much money on buying pet rocks. In my opinion, pole-sitting is the craze that is the silliest as well as the strangest, toys and card-collecting is the most fun.

(Những cơn sốt trong bài phỏng vấn có mang lại niềm vui cho mọi người, cũng như giúp họ kết nối với những người bạn cùng sở thích. Nhưng mặt khác, nó có thể gây ra những hậu quả tiêu cực, chẳng hạn như lãng phí thời gian và ảnh hưởng đến sức khỏe bởi “pole – sitting” hoặc tiêu xài quá nhiều tiền để mua đá thú cưng. Theo tôi, “Pole – sitting” là cơn sốt ngớ ngẩn và kỳ lạ nhất, còn sưu tập đồ chơi và thẻ bài là điều thú vị nhất.)

VI Read the following passage and answer each of the question below. ( 10 points )

We speak about the weather almost everyday. Before we begin doing something we want to know what kind of weather it is going to be.

Why do we speak about the weather so often? The answer is not difficult. We want sunny weather when we go for a walk in the country, and on a rainy day we stay at home reading books, watching TV or doing other things.

When we are at the seaside, windy weather is not pleasant . It is difficult to swim when the wind blows. And the wind can change good weather into bad one. The sun will stop shinning, and the rain may come.

And is there anything which we can do and must do in any weather? Yes, of coure there is. As English people say*rain or shine we must go to school.*.School is good in any weather, isn’t it?

It is obviously important for a farmer, a fisherman, an airplanr pilot, and a hip’s captain to know what the weather will be like. Unless they know what weather to expect , they cannot make their plans.

1 How often do we speak about the weather?

2 What do we usually do on a rainy day?

3 What is wrong with us when we are at the seasidde on a windy day?

4 According to the writer, what thing can we do and must we do in any weather?
